Yes, I think the real message here is that a belief in God and being religous doesn't mean someone has to be anti-abortion, bible thumping, God fearing, anti-gay, evangelical red-state conservative. Which might come as a shock to those people but to everyone else, not so much. |

Why? Do you know that there isnt a God? What makes you so bright that you think there isnt one? |

as far as im concerned, the onus is on people that believe in magic to show evidence of that magic.
i also think the mental processes one goes through to establish a belief in god to be largely emotive, irrational and pretty silly. i find the concept of god to be pretty silly.
thus i find believers to be pretty silly.
i dont need to be shown proof there arent fairies on the dark side of the moon for me to discount the idea. |

| But all these years of civilization, and when I hear stats that almost 90 percent of the world believes in God or a supperior bein..then it makes me think, that you might be the stupid one here. |

You really cant call 9 of 10 people in this world stupid. There is no fact on that anyways, its just your opinion. |
